Belief clings, but faith lets go. - Alan Watts

However, until there is silence of the mind, it is almost impossible to understand eternal life, that is to say, eternal now.

"But nirvana is a radical transformation of how it feels to be alive: it feels as if everything were myself, or as if everything — -including "my" thoughts and actions — -were happening of itself. There are still efforts, choices, and decisions, but not the sense that "I make them"; they arise of themselves in relation to circumstances. This is therefore to feel life, not as an encounter between subject and object, but as a polarized field where the contest of opposites has become the play of opposites."

To go anywhere in philosophy, other than back and forth, round and round, one must have a keen sense of correlative vision. This is a technical term for a thorough understanding of the Game of Black-and-White, whereby one sees that all explicit opposites are implicit allies — correlative in the sense that they “gowith” each other and cannot exist apart. This, rather than any miasmic absorption of differences into a continuum of ultimate goo, is the metaphysical unity underlying the world.
